Sea Cucumber

Sclerodactyla briareus

Size: to 6", larger offshore

The Sea Cucumber is not a worm, but an echinoderm, related to the starfish. If you look closely, the 5-way symmetry is still evident. Sea Cucumbers live buried in sandy or muddy bottoms less than 60 ft deep. Find them by the volcano-shaped mounds they make.
